Academic Achievements
- Currently investigating the role of micro/meso-structural characteristics of hard rocks in fracture/fragmentation mechanisms under complex drilling conditions using a hybrid water-jet hammer system. Utilizing numerical analyses based on different methods like finite element models (FEM), discrete element models (DEM), and combined FEM-DEM models.
Research Experience
- Current position: Research Associate in Digital Twinning of Advanced Composite at Imperial College London, Department of Aeronautics (February 2025 - present). Previous positions: Senior Research Associate at Imperial College London, Earth Science and Engineering (May 2021 - January 2025), Research Fellow at University College London, Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering (November 2018 - May 2021), Research Associate at University of Sheffield, Materials Science and Engineering (September 2017 - October 2017), Postdoctoral Research Assistant at University of Malaya, Mechanical Engineering (February 2017 - June 2017), Postdoctoral Research Assistant at University of Malaya, Restorative Dentistry (October 2015 - July 2016), Research Assistant at University of Malaya, Mechanical Engineering (September 2012 - October 2015).
Education
- PhD: University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (September 2011 - October 2015)
Background
- Expertise spans an array of heterogeneous solid materials, including rocks, concretes, bio-ceramics, electro-ceramics, and fibre reinforced composites. Uses cutting-edge experimental techniques like nanoindentation, nanoscratch, impact, fatigue, SEM, and tomography to understand the mechanical, structural, thermal, electrical, and transport behaviour of these quasi-brittle materials at different length scales. Passionate about computational modelling, developing novel strategies to simulate complex 3D microstructures.
